Space Monkeys In Babylon

Reckoning recorded with The Local (thelocalsd.com) and produced by Grammy winning producer Steve Churchyard and percussion by Michael Fisher (American Beauty, Wall-E, Memoirs of a Geisha, Avatar and more). This song highlights the toms used in Mark Brzezicki fashion and also the creativity of Mr Churchyard in the overall arrangement. Pictured are Steve Churchyard and Allan Sanderson at Pacific Beat Studios.

Reckoning

Recorded with The Local (thelocalsd.com) and produced by Steve Churchyard. Percussion by Michael Fisher. Song highlights for the drums, a linear beat using the rim of a tom and the beautiful layers of Michael's percussion. DW drums with a mixture of A and K custom cymbals were used. Pictured are me and Michael at Pacific Beat.

I'll Take You Home

Recorded with The Local (thelocalsd.com) and produced by Steve Churchyard with percussion by Michael Fisher. Song highlights a nice 6/8 piece with great lyrics - One of my favorite overall tunes. This was a fun piece to use dry K custom and effect cymbals for their short sustain in the verses.

Time To Move On

Recorded with The Local (thelocalsd.com), produced by Steve Churchyard and percussion by Michael Fisher. Song highlights on the drums, a swing tune in 5/4 with a call and response between drums and harmonica a la Steve Gadd style. Pictured are Mike Dolbear (UK drum pro to the stars) who gave advice on the bridge.

Reel In Rewind

Recorded with The Local (thelocalsd.com), produced by Steve Churchyard, percussion by Michael Fisher. Song highlights some beautiful percussion and an interesting linear beat in the verses (no 2 voices struck at a time). A beautiful love song and one of my favorite tracks off of the Mission Trails release (to be released for digital download Sep 2017). Pictured are The Local with Michael and Jon Fink at the KSPC radio station live show/interview.

Nothing

Recorded with The Local (thelocalsd.com), produced by Grammy winning Steve Churchyard and engineering assisted by Grammy winning Allan Sanderson at Pacific Beat Studios (Recorded at Left Coast Studios). Song highlights some beautiful harmonies and the use of the Vibra-Slap which I now want to use everywhere all the time :). Pictured are the rhythm section of me, Neal Hedegard, and Michael Fisher (American Beauty, Wall-E, Memoirs of a Geisha, Avatar soundtracks and more)with Daniel Bourget, recording engineer from DBAudio.
